Sooo for context, I have a child support case which was started rightfully so. The whole time she has had a job, and there hasn’t been an issue. But she met someone who has kids of his own, and just recently decided she is going to quit her job so she can be a stay at home mom to ours and his kids. Now, I’m happy for them, but at the same time I can only imagine what that’s going to mean for me in the long run when it comes to support cost. I have 50/50 and I believe he does with his kids mother, but with her just deciding to quit working, and now not having an income, does that mean I’m screwed?

My ex is wanting me to send her money directly for things for my kids. Usually I would have no issue and just send it, but it’s not really something they need, it’s something she wants to try… I’ve been told countless times to never send money outside of child support payments, but is there anything wrong with sending the $100.00 as half of what she’s wanting to get my kids?

Listen, my knees filed a complaint to HR about work place abuse, I’ve dieted, I’ve exercise, and I’ve lost about 40 lbs since January, but I hit a wall, and can’t seem to lose more, I’m just over 300 lbs, and I want to get rid of it. A few people at my work told me about a peptide or whatever, called tirzepitide? Something like that, anyway they’ve been on it for months, and have all lost 20-50 lbs since then, and said the only complications so far were constipation lol

Any advice? And please don’t try to sell me anything, I just wanna know anyone’s experience.

Found out I have $6k + in arrears from back due support. Long story short I sent money directly, she filed for support, they backdated and didn’t credit what I sent directly. I pay my current and a payment plan towards arrears, lately at work I’ve picked up extra hours, and now I can’t shake the feeling that any extra money that comes in is gonna get levied. Is this a real concern? Anyone had any experience in this? P.S. I love my kids, and I’m always happy and willing to do whatever is right, and whatever helps to support them, I’m currently trying to move closer and just scared that any money I try and put aside to do so, is going to get frozen/levied

To give some context, my ex and I had spit for awhile, and I was put on child support, after awhile we decided to try things again, where she canceled the child support, signed the papers blah blah, after about a year and a half, we ended up having our 3rd child, and not long after I got sick and put in the hospital, where we ended up separating, she moved 12 hours away with the babies. It’s taken a long time to recover, let alone finance a move like that, and in that time I just sent her personally what she said she needed, when one day I was hit with a child support order, and over $6k in arrears. They said that it was back dated to the day we split, but after investigation, it turns out, “even though there wasn’t an active case, the monthly obligation was still there” what can I even do?

Listen, before the comments come, I understand that having children is a choice, and inevitably child support is my own issue. TIA
I’m in a situation where, not only have I been put on child support, but my ex has moved 12+ hours away, as of now (thankfully) the support order for my 3 babies is not crippling, but I’m nervous as to where it could get to. We separated peacefully, and for a year I just gave money she needed, as she needed, when out of the blue she filed for child support, and I got hit with over a year of back due, no credit to what I had paid personally. This being said, I’ve worked out a repayment program which is okay, but recently I’ve gotten into a situation where I’m working more hours due to understaffing, and where as a father, I find myself wanting to send extra money when I do get paid more, knowing that I can’t do it everytime, but then I realize if I do that in the high times, it will be expected in the low times, which I cannot do. We went to parental court for custody, where the situation of them moving away was addressed, and as a dad, I want my kids 100% of the time, (that’s why I had them) so that already sucks, now I’m looking at moving closer to them so I can do the 50/50 but that’s so expensive, to circle back- I need to save money, but I know how child support works, so I just get terrified that any extra money I make, or if I work long weeks sometimes they’ll see that and just take it. What do I do?

Been driving gm all my life. Recently got rid of my 22 Silverado and got back into something I could work on. When I bought it, it had a banks aftermarket “cold air” intake, and a bit bigger tires than stock. I live in North Dakota where it’s pretty hilly, and the fuel mileage In this thing is horrible. Anytime I hit the slightest incline it drops into 3rd and I watch the gauge go down lol. Any tips on better mileage out of these? Any certain rpm they like?

I buy about $100 worth of fuel every day, been hearing about the upside app for rewards, but I hate linking my card to things. Is it safe?
